Have From Me What I Took From You

give me a righteous situation.

and come near me, hear my breath.

do disrespect me

please...ms diligence?

do your worst,

and help me now -

as i myself can not.

so let us kiss....

this moment in love with us,

love ourselves...

in front of the rest of us,

in common with what's around.

you know.... the general's of things

the obvious of the general things;

that stock image in love,

those family picture inserts,

this knife inverse...

what's more picture perfect,

than no way out?

so we might as well...

test our blood.

it holds a secret,

   (in silence)

I've heard.

so hush now, let us bleed it...

'tis rich

'tis delicious

my investment's in pain,

our dividends...

even the vain one's

I am confident,

we are more delicious

than simply vicious

hence the relative permanence....

(it's why I play...

    ; )

for blood,

"[T]his moment in love with us," seductive words here. Great write!

'Tis 'tis! one of my favorite phrases.
What possessed you to write this?

What possessed me to write this? Who cares? I'm a writer so I write things. The root of it wouldn't make sense in plain language without 10 pages anyway. It's why I love poetry... I can write less and say more.

I like the way you explain that, poetry is for those who don't want to sit here and tell their life story in a 350 page book they tell you by stanza and this piece is very captivating!!! nice work

"I am confident, we are more delicious than simply vicious" loved this one! Your whole poem is a beautiful flow of images, especially the part with the inverse knife. Wow!

[Davidgeo]

The inverse knife is a painful thing. Glad you liked it anyway.
